Abstract
Introduction: Merkel cell carcinoma (MCC) is characterized as a malignant trabecular neoplasm of the skin. The most common sites of lesions are areas frequently exposed to the sun, thus regions such as head, neck and upper limbs. The aim of this study is to report the clinical case of a female patient assisted in a Teaching Hospital in the State of São Paulo, with a lesion in the left gluteal region, unusual to what is found in the literature. Case Report: An 87-year-old female patient, who underwent excisional biopsy of a lesion on her left buttock, with an anatomopathological (AP) diagnosis of MCC, was also submitted to a control image, which showed a new lesion in the lymph node chain, and underwent a new surgical procedure, which was unsuccessful.
